Opposition Parties Make Gains in Kosovo Election Run-offs (Balkan Insight)

The opposition Vetevendosje party and the Democratic League of Kosovo, LDK, both had cause to celebrate as the results came in from the second round of local elections - as did the Prime Minister's party.

Preliminary results from Kosovo's Central Election Commission, CEC, held good news for the opposition Vetevendosje party and the Democratic League of Kosovo, LDK - and for the governing Alliance of the Future of Kosovo, AAK. It was bad night for the Democratic Party of Kosovo, PDK. Vetevendosje appears to have won in three municipalities, including the capital, Pristina, where the current mayor, Shpend Ahmeti, looks set to retain his post. The other confirmed wins were in the second biggest city of Prizren and in Kamenica. See at: http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/kosovo-runoff-brings-new-election-landscape-11-19-2017
